An 18-year-old NEET aspirant from J&K allegedly hanged herself todeath from the ceiling fan of her paying guest room here, the police said.

This is the 15th such incident this year and the second this month. Before she killed herself on Sunday evening, the girl, Zeeshan, spoke to a relative on the phone and told him that she might commit suicide, the police said. Burhan, the relative, called another student Mamta, and asked her to check on Zeeshan.

Mamta rushed to Zeeshan’s room, found it bolted from inside. A crowd gathered, broke open the door and found Zeeshan hanging from the ceiling fan.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
